One of the conditions that we accept as sailors is the fact that at certain times there just might not be raceable wind. If you race long enough you WILL get skunked eventually. Alter Cup 2004 is a prime example.
I have no problem driving/flying across the counrty or where ever and then having to hang out to wait for wind. Hey it happens.
Don't frog up a series by being desperate to get "anything" in. Garbage races are just that and I would not go back to a Clubs venue if they consitantly run races in zeyphers (sp) I feel that it shows poor race management!!!
As far as it taking more skill to sail in light air, all I say is that it takes great skill to consistanly sail fast in all conditions.
Check out the Windgate Video on the site it is hilarious
Now if we could just get some scores.........
